An electronic process for presenting interpersonal relationship analysis includes: receiving recorded responses of a plurality of users to selected stimuli, such recorded responses comprising indications of traits and preferences that are not explicitly identified in the recorded response; generating match profile data at least partially from the response; and presenting potential matches to a first user based on a compatibility score generated from correlating match profile data of the plurality of users with the match profile data of the first user.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A computer-based system for presenting interpersonal relationship analysis and optimizing potential match recommendations for a plurality of users, comprising: a matching server, operatively coupled to the public network, including a processor, a match profile database storing match profiles for each of the plurality of users in non-transitory computer memory and an empirical database storing empirical data for each of the plurality of users in non-transitory computer memory; and a first user device having a user interface and operatively coupled to a public network that is configured to: present selected stimuli to a first user via the user interface; monitor at least one biological reaction to the selected stimuli from the first user; transmit first data based on the at least one biological reaction to the selected stimuli to the matching server; receive from the matching server and present, via the user interface, at least one selected potential match to the first user; and transmit a satisfaction indicator selected by the user to the matching server, wherein the processor of the matching server selects the at least one potential match by: identifying at least one non-self-reported psychological trait based on the at least one biological reaction to the selected stimuli; identifying a comparable user based on empirical data for the comparable user that is stored in the empirical database; calculating a compatibility value between the first user and the potential match using the identified non-self-reported psychological trait, empirical data for the first user and the empirical data for the comparable user; comparing the compatibility value to a threshold; if the compatibility value exceeds the threshold, selecting the potential match for presentation to the first user; and updating the empirical data for the first user based on the satisfaction indicator received from the first user device; wherein monitoring the first user's biological reaction includes monitoring the user's pulse or heart rate during stimuli presentation.
A computer-based dating system presents potential matches to users by analyzing their biological reactions to stimuli, rather than relying solely on self-reported data. A matching server stores user profiles and empirical data. A user device presents stimuli (e.g., images, sounds) and monitors the user's pulse or heart rate as a biological reaction. This reaction data is sent to the server, which identifies non-self-reported psychological traits. The server then compares this data, along with existing empirical data, to find compatible matches. A compatibility score is calculated, and if it exceeds a threshold, the potential match is presented to the user. The user's satisfaction with the match updates their empirical data for future recommendations.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitored response is a change in the first user's body language.
The dating system described above monitors a user's body language as the biological reaction to presented stimuli, rather than relying solely on pulse or heart rate monitoring. This body language analysis provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits and calculating compatibility scores with potential matches, leading to more optimized match recommendations.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitored biological reaction is a facial expression.
The dating system described in the first claim monitors a user's facial expressions as the biological reaction to presented stimuli, rather than relying solely on pulse or heart rate monitoring. Analysis of these facial expressions informs the identification of non-self-reported psychological traits, which are then used to compute compatibility scores and enhance the accuracy of potential match recommendations.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitored biological reaction paralanguage identified in a verbal response by the first user.
The dating system described in the first claim monitors paralanguage (vocal cues beyond the words themselves) identified in a user's verbal response as the biological reaction to presented stimuli, rather than relying solely on pulse or heart rate monitoring. Analysis of paralanguage features provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits and calculating compatibility scores with potential matches.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the monitored biological reaction occurs during creation of an artifact by the first user.
The dating system described in the first claim monitors a biological reaction that occurs during the creation of an artifact by the user. The artifact creation process is part of the user's interaction with the selected stimuli. This allows the system to capture data on the user's non-self-reported psychological traits, in addition to pulse/heart rate, in order to determine compatibility with other users.
6. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is an audio-visual stimulus.
In the artifact-creation dating system described above, at least one of the stimuli presented to the user is an audio-visual stimulus (e.g., a video clip, a song with accompanying visuals). The user's biological reaction during the artifact creation is used to find non-self-reported psychological traits.
7. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is a presentation of a likeness of a potential match via the user interface.
In the artifact-creation dating system, at least one stimulus is a presentation of a likeness (e.g., a photo, video) of a potential match shown through the user interface. The user's biological reaction during artifact creation in response to seeing this potential match helps determine compatibility.
8. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is based on the first user interacting in real-time with one or more potential matches via the network using the first user device.
In the artifact-creation dating system, at least one stimulus involves the user interacting in real-time with one or more potential matches over the network. The user's biological reaction while creating an artifact during this real-time interaction provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits that are used to improve match recommendations.
9. The system of claim 5 , wherein a haptic interface is coupled with the user interface to monitor the biological reaction.
In the artifact-creation dating system, a haptic interface (e.g., a device that provides tactile feedback) is coupled with the user interface to monitor the user's biological reaction. The haptic interface detects physical responses (e.g., pressure, vibration) during artifact creation, providing additional data to identify non-self-reported psychological traits and calculate compatibility scores.
10. The system of claim 5 , wherein the first user device is further configured to: monitor location data; and identify empirical location data comprising: (a) frequented locations, (b) periods of high activity, (c) periods of high mobility, or (d) habits derived from (a) (b) or (c).
The artifact-creation dating system is enhanced by monitoring location data from the user's device to gather empirical data, including frequented locations, periods of high activity, periods of high mobility, and habits derived from this location information. This location data supplements the biological reaction data and helps the system to refine its match recommendations.
11. The system of claim 5 , wherein the first user device is further configured to monitor data transmissions and transmit data transmission information to update and store empirical data for the first user in the empirical database.
In the artifact-creation dating system, the user device also monitors data transmissions to track user behavior. This data transmission information is used to update and store empirical data for the user in the server's empirical database, contributing to a more comprehensive user profile and improved match recommendations.
12. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is a live or real-time audio stimulus.
In the artifact-creation dating system, at least one of the selected stimuli is a live or real-time audio stimulus (e.g., a live radio broadcast, a real-time audio stream from another user). The user's biological reaction during artifact creation to this live audio provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits.
13. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is a live or real-time visual stimulus.
In the artifact-creation dating system, at least one of the selected stimuli is a live or real-time visual stimulus (e.g., a live video feed, a real-time animation). The user's biological reaction during artifact creation in response to the live visual stimulus provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits.
14. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is a pre-recorded audio stimulus.
In the artifact-creation dating system, at least one of the selected stimuli is a pre-recorded audio stimulus (e.g., a song, a podcast episode). The user's biological reaction during artifact creation while listening to this pre-recorded audio provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits.
15. The system of claim 5 , wherein at least one of the selected stimuli is a pre-recorded visual stimulus.
In the artifact-creation dating system, at least one of the selected stimuli is a pre-recorded visual stimulus (e.g., a movie clip, a slideshow). The user's biological reaction during artifact creation while watching this pre-recorded visual stimulus provides data for identifying non-self-reported psychological traits.
16. A computer implemented method for presenting interpersonal relationship analysis and optimizing potential match recommendations for a plurality of users via a computer network, comprising: instructions stored in non-transitory memory of a first user device that, when executed by a processor of the first user device, cause the processor to: present selected stimuli to a first user via a user interface of the first user device; monitor at least one biological reaction to the selected stimuli from a first user of the first user device; transmit first data based on the at least one biological reaction to a matching server via a communicatively coupled computer network; receive at least one potential match profile associated with a potential match for the first user from the matching server via the network; selectively present the potential match profile to the first user via the user interface; and transmit a satisfaction indicator selected by the first user to the matching server via the network based on the first user's satisfaction with the potential match, wherein a processor of the matching server operably executes instructions, stored in non-transitory memory of the server, that cause the server to: identify at least one non-self-reported psychological trait for the first user based on the received first data; identify a comparable user based on empirical data for the comparable user that is stored in an empirical database; calculate a compatibility value between the first user and the potential match using the identified non-self-reported psychological trait, empirical data for the first user and the empirical data for the comparable user; compare the compatibility value to a threshold and if the compatibility value exceeds the threshold, transmit the potential match profile to the first user device for presentation to the first user; and upon receiving the satisfaction indicator from the first user device, update the empirical data for the first user based on the satisfaction indicator, wherein the empirical database stores empirical data for each of the plurality of users in non-transitory memory of the matching server and a match profile database stores match profiles for each of the plurality of users in non-transitory memory of the matching server; wherein monitoring the first user's biological reaction includes monitoring the user's pulse or heart rate during stimuli presentation.
A computer method implemented on a dating service presents potential matches by analyzing biological reactions to stimuli. A user device presents stimuli and monitors the user's pulse/heart rate, transmitting this data to a matching server. The server identifies non-self-reported psychological traits and calculates a compatibility value, comparing it to a threshold. Potential matches exceeding the threshold are sent back to the user device for presentation. The user's satisfaction indicator updates their empirical data on the server. The server stores user profiles and empirical data, utilizing both to improve match recommendations.
